Michiel VH

I’m a Cloud-Native DevOps/Platform engineer passionate about building platforms that scale with confidence and let developers move fast without breaking things. My work lives at the intersection of Kubernetes, GitOps, and multi-cloud automation, where I design and implement workflows whether you’re running on AWS, Azure, or at the edge.

I believe developer experience and platform security go hand in hand. The best platforms are the ones that give teams autonomy with guardrails: fast delivery pipelines, clear observability, and policies baked in from the start. My focus is always on striking that balance, enabling speed while keeping governance and compliance intact.

Over the years I’ve built:

Kubernetes platforms that standardize how teams deploy and operate applications
GitOps-driven workflows that make infrastructure as easy to manage as code
Multi-cloud setups that remove cloud vendor lock-in and unify the developer experience
Custom Tooling from apt packages to k8s controllers and Terraform providers.
Automation pipelines that turn complex provisioning into a one-liner
Outcome improvements that cut onboarding time, improve change reliability, and make platform cost & usage more transparent

Beyond the tooling, I care deeply about mindset. Cloud-native is about working in a way that’s collaborative and transparent. I take a product‑minded view: platform work should reduce onboarding time and safely unlock new capabilities. My goal is to bridge the gap between business, infrastructure and development so teams ship value sooner instead of fighting their environments.
